What We Do

The branch covers a large area with members from Cornwall and Gloucestershire. We even have a member now living in Japan who visits us when in the UK. We meet regularly at the West Buckland village hall in Somerset because that is roughly central to all our UK members. Visitors are most welcome at our meetings where tea, coffee, biscuits and cake are provided in addition to the lectures, demonstrations and engraving exercises/competitions.

We exhibit regularly at the Fine Foundation Gallery, Durlston Country Park in Dorset because the gallery is well suited to displaying engraved glass.

Our next meeting is our AGM which is held at Sonja Klingler’s glass blowing workshop on the 24th May 2026. Please bring a packed lunch.
